    This.

    Mine is set to off. I have to manually set AC/Heat. It doesn't just automagically kick on.

    Have it turned off
  • Belly35
    Those that have it turned off ... at what temp. do you turn it on?
  • FatHobbit
    Mine is off too. I don't know when I'll turn it on. Probably when my wife starts complaining.

    It's not a set temp at our house, but a how-long-can-we-go-this-year-without-turning-the-furnace-on mentality that controls it at our house. Thanksgiving '09 is our record to beat.

    Until I can't stand to be cold anymore.
  • Belly35
    That does it Power I has convinced me ... when I get home the furnance is turned off
    ... goal is Thanksgiving ...

    Question if I start a fire in the two fireplaces does that count or is that a gray area of heating the house? Note they are not woodburners
  • GoChiefs
    Fire's are not allowed. That's being a pussy. Unless it's outside in a fire pit or something.

    dam it
  • justincredible
    I won't turn ours on until at least November.
  • power i
    We do have a woodburner and yes, we are allowed to use it.

    Agree with GoChiefs. Too early for a fire.

    Has Belly ever studied how much heat is lost going up the chimney than actually being produced by the fire?
    My dad use to say something like that, "lose more heat going up than it's worth."
    I think it was just because he didn't like having a fire going.

    Not cold enough yet for furnace but did toss some sweaters and sweatshirts in the wash.

    I know that a fire place is not the most effect method of heating a home ... but it look dam comfortable and warm when you're sitting close with a glass of wine, an a IPad :D
  • mcburg93
    Uggggg I dont even want to think about turning it on yet.

    Like others have said, when I find being cold is unbearable. I have no troubles bundling up a bit at home (sweats, t-shirt and a heavy robe) when slacking around, so I have been able to make it into December before turning up the heat (living in a small place that seems well-insulated helps). Last year, it was a good month or so earlier, though. The year overall was cooler than normal and it seemed to get cold earlier, too.

    I don't know if our's has been on or not but if we are cold at all we will turn it on and will turn it up until we are not cold.

    Same approach in the summer with regards to the air conditioner.

    It's our home and it's where I want my family to feel the most comfortable of anywhere in the world.

    I disagree. How much heat that is being lost is irrelevant when 1) It still gets the job done and 2) is cheaper than gas.
